That works a charm, thanks. Customer has various reasons for using the 6.0.6 
LTS version, I hear a new 7.xx or 8.xx LTS version is supposed to be out 
closer to the end of the year which should resolve most of these issues with 
older versions of the prerequsites for compiling shrew.

I'll test it out now against the Fortinet Wifi-60a client has and report back 
results along with a few other commercial vpn gateways I have under my 
control, a SonicWall TZ170, a few other model Fortinets, a bunch of linksys 
units (befsx41, befvp41, wrv54g, rv042) and maybe one or 2 other brands.

I don't expect much problems with any except the sonicwall which has a VERY 
short list of vpn clients that work with it. Sonicwall's client works of 
course as does NCP's Windows XP/Vista and Windows CE clients, also VPN 
Tracker and IP-Securitas on the mac side.

This is going to be the fun and challenging ;-)
